I'm making a GUI for rsync and having some problems getting a reliable
indication of the files that will be transferred (so I can make a progress bar
from the results). I didn't see rysnc offered this so my plan has been to get a
list of files that will be transferred and count them as rsync reports them
using the -v option thus getting a ratio I could make a progress bar from.
The problem is I don't see there is a way to have rsync tell me which files
will be transferred so I can count the list. I tried using the --list-only
option to count the files first but I can't get it to report the same number of
files as are actually transferred when I don't use the option. For example the
same command with --list-only is listing 8000 files and when I remove the
command 0 files are transferred (which is correct). Shouldn't the command using
--list-only report 0 files also as that's how many will be transferred?
Does anyone know a trick to get this information or some other way to get a
reliable progress meter of the files transferred?
Thanks for any ideas you have.
Regards,
Josef
